COOLING ATTACHMENT FOR PERMANENT-WAITING APPARATUS.

Application led July 5,

my object is to provide a simple and inexpensive at-tachment of thischaracter whereby cool air may be appliedto the scalp and head of aperson while their hair is being .subjected to the process of permanentwavin further object is to provide an attachment which will supply coolair to the lscalp and head without cooling or otherwise lowering theefficiency of the electric heating elements forming a part of thepermanent waving apparatus.

In order that the invention mayi be fully understood, reference will nowbe had to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 shows a permanent waving apparatus with a portion of myattachment applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section of a portion of theattachment in operative position.

FFig. 3 is a cross section on line 3-3 of ig. 4 is a detail plan View ofone of the cooling pads.

Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is an inverted plan view of one section of one of the coolingpads.

Fig. 7 shows amotor and a fan for supplying the cool air, with a housingenclosing said motor and fan.

around which a portion of the hair A is twisted and held in place by aprimary wrapper 16, which in turn is held in place by a secondarywrapper 18 which may be treated with any suitable liquid used in thepermanent waving process. The primary wrapper 16 is further secured inplace next to the scalp B by means of a clamp 20. The secondary wrappers18 are wound sufficiently tight to enter the respective tubular heatingelements 2. All of the foregoing parts may be of ordinary form so adetailed description of their construction and operation is deemedunnecessary.

Referring now more particularly to the 1927. seriai No. 203,523.

cooling attachment forming the present invention, 22 designates what Iterm a cooling pad which consists of an upper section 24 and a lowei'section 26. Said sections 24 and 26 arc pivotally connected by means ofa tubular rivet-27, so that they may be opened to admit the wrapper 16and then closed around said wrapper as shown by Figs. 2 and 3. The inneradjacent portions of the sections 24'and 26 are curved in oppositedirections as indicated at 28 and 30 in order to lit around the wrapper16- and permit the free ends of said sections to overlap.- The sections24 and 26 are held in closed position by a protruberance 29 'whichprojects downwardly from the sections 24 and enters a recess 31 intheupper surface of the section 26.

The sections 24 and 26 are'preferably of composite construction, theirupper portions consisting preferably of asbestos or other heatinsulating material 32 and 33 and their lower portions consistingpreferably of fiber 34 and 35, respectively The sections 24 and 26 haveair' chambers 36 and 37 with discharge ports or openings'38 and 39, re-

. spectively, in their lower portions. 4

Air under pressure may be supplied to the chambers 36` and 37 by anysuitable means. In the present instance I have shown vfor that purposean electric motor '40 and a fan 42, which latter is ixedly mounted uponthe lower end of the motor shaft 44. The motor 40 and the fan 42 areenclosed in a housing 46 which is provided at its upper portion with airinlet ports 48 and' at its lower end with nipples 50. Flexible tubes 52are connected at their upper ends to the nipples 50 and provided attheir lower ends with couplings 54 which are secured in the upperportions of the tubular rivets 27. Each tubular rivetl 27 is providedwith'air ports 56 and 57 which communicate withn the'air chambers 36 and37, respectively.

The housing46 is supported in any suitable manner. In the present'instance I have shown its upper end provided with a hook 58 forengagement with the hooked lower end of a rod 60 depending from a disk62 supported by the hook 12 and secured in the center ofthe ring. 10 byarms 64. The lower portions of. the tubes 52 are provided with asbestosor other heat nonconducting sleeves 66 to protect them and the airflowing therethrough fromv the heat radiated from theV heating elements2.

, After the ermanent waving a paratus has been app ied to the hair as sown by Fig. 1, the coolin pads 22 are laced in position around theIowe'r ends o the wrappers 16. As electric current is supplied to 'theheating elements 2, thes motor 40 is started to drive the fan 42A whichsucks in air through the inlet port-s 48 land forces it out upon the I-l hair and scalp through the tubes 52, the

tubular rivets 27, the air ports 56 and 57, the air chambers 36 and 37,and the discharge openings 38 and 39.l As the cool air is dischargedupon the scalp B it maintains the head at a comfortable temperaturev andguards against overheating vby the hot air radiated from the heatingelements 2 Without in any way lowering the efficiency of the latter, asthe air is discharged against the scalp, as stated, and not in thedirection of said heating elements 2.

From the foregoing description it is apparent that I have provided anapparatus well adapted for the purpose intended, and While I have shownand describedthe preferred construction, combination and arrangement ofparts, I reserve all rights to such modifications .as properly. JfallwithinV the. spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

vHaving thus described my invention, what' I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is:

1. In combination with .permanent hair waving apparatus includingcurling pins, devices adapted'to be applied to said curling pins andhaving air chambers with outlets directed towards the scalp, and meansfor forcing air through said chambers and said outlets.

l 2. In combination vwith permanent hair waving apparatus includingcurling pins, devices adapted to be applied to said curling pins andhaving air chambers with outlets,

' tubes connected to said devices and communieating with said airchambers, and means for forcing air .through said tubes, chambers andvsaid outlets.

y3. In combination with 4permanent haii` wavingapparatus includingcurling pins, devices adapted to be applied tol said curling pins andhaving air chambers with outlets,

mecano@ tubes connected to said devices and com municating with said airchambers, a housin yhaving an air -inlet port and to which said tubesare connectedand means within said housing for ldrawing air into thelatter and forcing it out upon the scalp through said tubes, airchambers and outlets.

4. In combination with permanent hair waving apparatus including curlingpins, devices ada ted to be applied tosaid curling pins and lhaving airchambers with outlets, tubes connected to said devices and.communicating with said air chambers, a housing having an air inlet port`and to which said tubes are connected, a motor mounted Within saidhousing, and a fan mounted 6. In a device of the character described,

a pad having an air chamber with inlet and outlet orts, and meanscommunicating with said in et ports for forcing air through' the chamberand the outlet port.

7 In a device of the character described, I

a pad consisting of two sections having air chambers with outlets, andla tubular niem-` ber `operably connecting said lsections and providedwith ports communicating with said chambers. lf

8. In a device of the character described,

va pad consisting of two composite sections having their adjacent edgescurved in opposite directions, said sections having air chambers withoutlets, and a tubular member operably connecting said sections andprovided miL with 'ports communicating with said air chambers. I

`In testimony whereof I aix m si ature.
